Big brother is reading about your breakfast
In all of the books and movies that depicted the future, not a single one mentioned we’d use all the technology at our disposal to let all of our friends see pictures of the food and drink we’re having.
The Deparment of Homeland Security is monitoring what you put on social networks and looking for items of interest and key words. Among those words are shooting and ATF, which are used many times a day here.
I, terrorist.

I guess I’ll just have to make sure to add something like:
“Planning on shooting an ICE agent? Ask the ATF for the gun”
to my .sig and be sure to include ATF in anything I happen to post on FB or twitter.

Hilarious.

Socrates said it: When you put a closeted perv in charge, you gotta expect weird things to happen while she changes the batteries on her man-thing substitute.

We will hurt them when we can. Defund the cocksuckers. They’ll survive on unemployment, until it runs out.

Yeah, really smart. Keep monitoring me and don’t pay attention to those who are REALLY dangerous, because some “Anti-Defemation .Org” whines every time you catch a Terrorist.
“Your Federal Tax Dollars at Work.”

Sophisticated analytical filters are possible these days, separating the Facebook pages about high school parties from the Islamofascist haters, but I’d still like to discuss how it must feel to be a human interpreter of the computer output. Sort of like being forced to read anti-gun blogs all day long, I would guess, in terms of the ratio of silliness and irrationality to anything worth investigating.

I don’t Recall Watching the Drug Gang Shooting that involved the Cops and the Colombian Drug Cartel at Home.
How’d I do?

ATF, Shooting,ATF, Shooting,ATF, Shooting,ATF, Shooting,ATF, Shooting,ATF, Shooting,ATF, Shooting,ATF, Shooting……Oh shit, here they come.

“Husband Kimmel.” There, I said it.
Much as we like to take the 60’s cynical joke approach to this particular BigGov outrage — and I do — it’s worse than that.
NSA/Cyber Command (both under the same General, and they just lost a key asset [man, to civilians]), have an actual, real, this-could-be-it job to do. HS and Big Sis are diverting NSA resources [people, to you] on this wild goose chase.
Sure they’re SOB’s but they are our SOB’s, and this is like forcing the Coast Guard to chase rumrunners during a hurricane. Which they did, and will do again.

True Story: Government monitoring of in house e-mails has be going on for years. Two biddies sent messages containing “pink” “babe” and other such words. Sure enough they were hauled into HR for re-educa …. sensitivity training. When they asked the HR boss “Did you actually read the e-mails?” there was a protracted pause. Seems the notes were about the movie “Babe” that the guys had taken their daughters to. Needless to say HR was not amused.

NSA Line Eater.
I trigger all the computer security ones, which is pretty uninteresting. What *is* interesting is the terms not on the list. Bet there’s a classified list that’s three times as big.

Makes me really wonder what kind of reaction one could cause by blogging about something that doesn’t exist, but sounds really scary.
Okay, here goes nuthin’….
“Class IV superconducting quantum explosive matrix primer for Special Nuclear Material.”
As I have said before, and will say again, Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives should be a big box convenience store – not a government agency. 🙂
There. THAT might give Big Brudder’s computer a nice migraine.
